NORTHERN NEWS. 



The Rev. J. Conway Walter informs us that on November 3rd, in the 

 parish of Haltham, near Horncastle, a Sparrow laid an eg-g^. The weather 

 was fine and mild. 



In 'The Field' for the loth October Mr. F. Boyes reports the recent 

 abundance of the 'Painted Lady' in East Yorkshire, and also records 

 'larg-e numbers' of the 'Clouded 'Yellow' at Spurn. He likewise reports 

 the shooting- of a solitary Snipe near Foston, on 30th September. In the 

 same issue Mr. T. H. Nelson, writing from Flamborough, notes the abund- 

 ance, on 2 1st September, of the 'Painted Lady' along the whole coastline, 

 from Durham to Kent. There seems to have been an unusual migration 

 this year. 



Dr. H. R. Mill, writing to the Times on Thursday, 29th October, says: — 

 'This is the certainty, now established, that 1903 is to prove the wettest 

 year since Mr. Symons established his first rain-gauge in Camden Town 

 in 1858. During the period of 46 years there were six complete years 

 in which the rainfall exceeded 30 in., and of these the wettest was 1878, 

 with 34'o8 in. The rainfall for the portion of 1903 from ist January to 

 27th October amounts to 34"6i in., so that, to use a phrase which seems 

 to carrv much sigfnificance to the general mind, the record is broken.
